All in all, I appreciate the
opportunities of a 4-H Club
and I know that the “crop”
that the 4-H Club is most in
terested in is growing better
girls and boys today, to make
better citizens tomorrow.
My family had a real treat
during June and July last
summer when we had IFYE
(International Farm Youth Ex
changee) live in our home for
about ten days. He was Reijo
Poteri from Finland and prov
ed to be most interesting to
us at our home.
My 4-H Activities
And Experiences
During my years of 4-H work
I have carried out a number of
projects and they all have been
। worthwhile and beneficial to me
las well as others. I have enjoyed
. each of my projects because with
each I put in a great deal of work,
’ but in the end I was very glad
that I did.
I have attended many of the
district meetings and had the
rieasure of attending the State
Congress for two years. My first
. year there I won second place on
my canning project. That gave
me an even greater will to con
tinue. Last year at the State
Congress, I won first place on
canning. I need not say how glad
I am that I took canning as a pro
ject. It has helped me as well
as members of my family and
many other neighbors.
In all my years of 4-H Club
work last year was the most in
teresting one. I not only won
first place at the state, but I was
also crowned “Miss 4-H Club for
1959-60.”
I have enjoyed not only the
work but the pleasure of being a
4-H Club member. I believe that
if each of us would remember
that with a little knowledge, loyal
ty and cooperation we can all
gain something whether small or
large.
In my closing I am proud to
say I am a 4-H member. I can
think of no better time to write
this article than during national
4-H Club Week.

What Is 4-H?
Continued from 3rd Front Page
by the Extension Agents and
others of the Extension Service
with endless stores of informa
tion for use by local leaders.
This information has been com
piled by specialists and others of
land grant colleges and USDA.
The leaders assist the 4-H’ers
in carrying out projects to com
pletion, attend meetings, visit
4-H projects, and even attend
camps of all kinds or make trips
with these 4-H’ers.
Four-H Clubs sprang up all
over the U. S. within a few
years of each other to meet
many local needs of rural youth.
Many wise and influential peo
ple helped these groups organ
ize into this great 4-H organi
zation.
Georgia’s 4-H Clubs began
here in Newton County in 1905
by a corn club organized by
G. C. Adams, then the county
School Superintendent.
In 1914 Congress passed the
Smith-Lever Act which provid
ed for cooperative extension
work in Agriculture and Home
Economics including what was
then known as “boys and girls
club work.”
The National 4-H emblem is
a four leaf clover with one “H”
in each leaf. The colors are
green and white for the organ
ization
The 4-H Club idea now cir
cles the globe. More than 40
countries, in widely separated
areas of the world, have adopted
all or part of the plan and ad
apted it to its own needs and
conditions. The movement in
some places is known as 4-H
Clubs and uses the emblem of
a cloverleaf. Elsewhere, the
local adaptation makes the pro
gram individual.
PUREBRED CATTLE
R O. Williams, animal hus
bandman. Agricultural Exten
sion Service, says purebred cat
tle represent a very small per
cent of the industry, but they
are an important segment.
Commercial producers must
look to purebred breeders for
bulls to use in up-grading then
commercial herds, Williams
points out.
